You had it assigned? Geez, everyone I knew read it on their own while avoiding doing the assigned reading! I'm sure I'd have hated it if it was assigned. It was more a Guy Thing, anyway, what with having to do with motorcycles. Well, I guess you were in SF, so your high school teachers were trying to be hip. Now that's a way to ruin a book.

I actually liked it later on...after the effect wore off, but more as a reminder of the time and place. I was NOT a "reader" when young. I never sat still, to have time to do it. Once I became "old", seriously, I had a LOT of catching up to do...I was very much of the "experiential school" of things, and it in fact very much bothered me to find out the band members were, in effect, "book snobs" (Jerry's famous comments about Brent, etc).

I detest people like that.
